I'd be surprised if quite a few aren't now asking that final question.
As happens so often a decade after a guru coach leaves, there is a real feeling of malaise at present. Graham Lowe revolutionised the Wigan club. John Monie continued that, but from then on it was all downhill, each new appointee sub-par compared to the one before until eventually there were people in charge who you couldn't believe were coaching Wigan.
History could now be about to repeat itself. Michael Maguire changed everything dramatically for the better. Shaun Wane was less polished but a great motivator who continued to win trophies. Now, however (thanks mainly to Shaun Edwards), we've got Adrian Lam, who seems to offer considerably less as a coach than any of those men.
But this won't go unnoticed. If we don't win the Grand Final, which seems very unlikely at present, I can't see how we can keep him on.
Graham Lowe and more so John Monie in his first spell at the club together with Graham West were lucky in being provided with a conveyor line of top class players signed from both within our own game and down under by the gang of four led by Uncle Mo!
I bet Adrian Lam wished he was so lucky to have so many star players at his disposal!
